A savvy photographer captured an unexpected, last-minute entry into a surf contest: a great white shark, terrifyingly close to a surfer
Jordan Anast, a California-based photographer, was taking pictures of the San Onofre Surf Club Contest when he captured the shocking image of the shark, seemingly just yards away from surfer Tyler Warren in the foreground. Anast took the remarkable photo on October 22 at around 11 a.m., he told CNN. At first, he didn’t realize exactly what he had captured. He had shot dolphins before “surfing in the water” and from afar, the animal looked like it might be another dolphin, he said.
He captured a total of six images of the great white shark breaching, he said. He attributed the once-in-a-lifetime shot to a combination of luck and his 400 millimeter telephoto lens, which he typically uses for photographing sporting events from afar. The photo’s online popularity has been “crazy,” he said. “Today’s been the craziest day ever. It doesn’t stop going. [The photo] has its own legs now.

Nevada's Costly, Photo-Finish Senate Race Pits Abortion vs. EconomyNORTH LAS VEGAS, Nev. — As Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada took the stage at a high school here this week, she was fighting for her political life. Her reelection bid is seen by many as the tightest Senate race in the country. Republicans are throwing money and energy behind her challenger, Adam Laxalt, a political scion who, like Cortez Masto, is a former Nevada attorney general.
